The trend of well-seasoned travelers today is away from large, impersonal hotels and toward the intimacy of boutique hotels and villas. Batuan is privileged to be the home to some of the better luxury villa accommodations in Bali, offering close proximity to Ubud and Sanur, yet away from the hustle and bustle, steeped in Balinese arts and culture, featuring lush, peaceful surroundings and an unhurried vibe.
Villa Mandala Desa
Ideal for singles, couples and small groups up to 8 persons, this 4 villa, Western-run luxury accommodation is owned and operated by
a husband and wife team from California. They also run
one of the best restaurants in Ubud, so the food is
terrific, staff is well-trained and grounds immaculate. Sweeping views
of rice fields from every room along with reasonable rates means demand
is high. Situated in a small village with no other signs of tourists in
sight, guests of Mandala Desa can experience real Balinese village life first-hand.
The villa is very private and luxurious, with marble floors,
garden bath, outdoor lounging areas and an unreal view of rice fields
but it's run very charmingly in a family-style, casual way. This is the perfect getaway for romance or to recharge, blending Balinese art and design with opulent Western comforts including WiFi access. Guests love the spectacular views, clean, comfortable bed and bath, menu of food fresh from onsite gardens, and above all a wonderful staff - who will do everything they can to provide you the experience of a lifetime. Inside the walls guests can relax in your own private garden with fish pond. On the grounds wander freely in an acre of tropical gardens decorated with local stone carvings and water features, swim beneath Balinese fountains or relax in indoor/outdoor lounging areas. Dine in Balinese style garden pavilion, on your terrace or beside the pool.
Also available on request is banquet dinner with kecak dance, put on by the local village group (about 60 or 70 men, plus a few dancers) Free shuttle to Ubud on demand. Special dietary needs (i.e. vegan or raw food} can be accommodated. Catering for events on or off site can also be arranged.
